Premarital counseling

While many couples fear that premarital counseling may dampen the excitement of their upcoming wedding, I will guide you and your partner to have conversations that will help you to create a strong foundation for your marriage. I offer a safe and comfortable environment where you and your partner can identify strengths in your relationship as well as potential areas of conflict. Couples can choose to meet only during their dating/engagement period or can continue attending counseling after the wedding to gain assistance in transitioning and adjusting to married life.

Common issues discussed in premarital counseling:
Stress from wedding planning/preparation
In-law/family relationships negotiation
Role expectations and finances
Communication/conflict styles
Impact of past family relationships on marriage
Discussion of beliefs/values for marriage and family

Couples can also choose to complete an assessment that evaluates different areas of your relationship to identify strengths and weaknesses.
